Pink Bourbon is complex and fruity, with notes of blueberry, lavender and pink grapefruit.

This lot is produced by Diego Bermudez in the Cauca region at an altitude of 1960 meters above sea level. Diego brings over 13 years of coffee-growing expertise to his work at the Villa Esperanza-Paraiso farm in El Tambo, Cauca, where his family cultivates a diverse range of varietals including Castillo, Colombia, Caturra, Pink Bourbon and Geisha.

The family’s commitment to quality is evident in every step of production - from the meticulous selection of cherries to precise drying methods. An on-site laboratory dedicated to cupping and roasting has enabled them to experiment with innovative fermentation protocols, a practice that has earned several awards.

Pink Bourbon is a unique coffee, that is certainly one for you to explore and enjoy!

El Tambo, Cauca

Diego and his family's farm in the Cauca region of Colombia is 1960 masl.

Complex and Fruity

We pick up on notes of blueberry, lavender and pink grapefruit. The hint of grapefruit is lingering with every sip.

Washed

The process begins with the careful selection of coffee cherries harvested at their optimum ripeness when the mucilage is rich in sugars. The cherries first undergo a 48‐hour fermentation and are then de-pulped and subjected to a secondary fermentation with the tropical yeast “Paraiso Tropical” for 36 hours under pressure. During this stage, a liquid extract from the coffee pulp is added to enhance fruity flavour profiles. Following fermentation, the beans are washed using a thermal shock technique that halts metabolic processes, preserving the soft notes of the coffee. The beans are subsequently dried in a dehumidifier to efficiently remove moisture and prevent over-oxidation before being stabilised, stored under cool conditions, and finally selected and hulled under strict quality standards.
